How many dingoes are left in Australia?
Dingoes are wild dogs that live in many parts of Australia. An accurate count is difficult, as many feral domestic dogs live in the same areas and interbreed with the dingoes.

How do people on a sheep station get help if they are injured or ill?
This depends on how far away their sheep station is from a major town with decent medical facilities, and how severe the injury is.
Many particularly remote or outlying sheepstations have to rely on the Royal Flying Doctor Service for major emergencies. Years ago, telegraph operators had to relay the medical information from a doctor who might have been thousands of kilometres away, but the RFDS has eased that burden. However, most bush towns have medical facilities to deal wih injuries, or at least stabilise a patient until the RFDS gets there.

Why do most australians live within ten miles of the coast?
Approximately 44 percent of Australia's interior is desert, and is unable to support any industry. Another large percentage is semi-arid, populated sparsely by cattle and sheep properties. Apart from sheep and cattle, there are other large agricultural areas and crop land inland, particularly in the eastern states, parts of the south, and the southwestern corner of the continent. Again, these properties require large tracts of land in order to be economically viable.
Aside from this, the only other major industry that operates away from the coasts is mining, and there is a limit to how many people can be employed in such industries. Therefore, a great many people need to work in business, trades and professions that are concentrated in the cities and towns through the coastal areas of the continent.

What are some tools that Aborigines used?
The Australian Aborigines used twigs, fibres and fingers for painting to get different strokes.
They obtained their colours from the natural environment. They ground ochre to powder, mixed various clays, used natural plant colourings, collected pebbles which contained minerals for colouring, used charcoal and ashes from their fires, and even added blood, at times. Tree bark, crushed shells and blood also gave variety of colour. The availability of some colours are peculiar to the area that the artist finds himself in.
These paint bases were mixed with fluids such as saliva, blood, tree sap or yolk of various birds' eggs to help them adhere.
